Terrible FPS with an overkill system.

exoaria · Aug 8, 2014

Hi, I was hoping that someone could help me with some issues that I'm experiencing with a computer that I recently built. I'll list the specs below.

My issue is that I'm getting extremely low FPS rates in games, especially when it comes to rendering many things on a screen at one time. For example, in World of Warcraft I get as low as 7 fps in populated areas. In Borderlands 2 and Far Cry 3, my FPS fluctuates between a stability of 60+ FPS to as low as 25. My temperatures are very cool.

This should not be happening for a 780 Ti. Can anyone give me some advice or suggestions on what I can do?

That might be caused by thermal throttling , see the temps and core clock and report back.

TopLuca :

Temperatures of the System, CPU and GPU range between 30 - 40 degrees Celsius.

What about the core clock on the GPU ?

Have you installed the latest GPU drivers?

Also just checking but you monitor is plugged into the GPU and not the motherboard?

I am talking about the Graphics card , Use MSI Afterburner and check the core clocks ( Frequencies ) and temps.

Motherboard doesn't have a VGA port even if I wanted to. HDMI straight into the 780 Ti.

TopLuca :

I had a look. Is this what you mean?

TopLuca · Aug 8, 2014

Yep , thats the reason you're getting terrible FPS.

TopLuca · Aug 8, 2014

The clock should be at around 876 and around 925Mhz with boost and you're only getting 324Mhz

with the above in mind i'll ask the standard question about what PSU do you have ?

Stress the system, use something like heaven, there are options with msi, afterburner to show your clock speed and GPU. make sure you giving enough juice to the card( check the power connectors). If the GPU seems fine, stress the CPU.

... How can I fix it? D: I've never encountered anything like this.

Corsiar CS650M PSu. 650 Watt.
Recommended to me by both www.msy.com.au and www.pccasegear.com

In EVGA Precision X select voltage and tweaks, click on K- Boost, reboot. Card will now run at max clock speed all the time. Or in settings just make it run on the highest clock speeds available , same applies to Fans RPM.

I didn't use a psu calculator or anything, this is just off the top of my head. but 650w seems low/boarderline for the hardware your using, even with it being 80+. I wouldnt want to run that system on anything less then a good 800w psu for abit of breathing room.

TopLuca :

I couldn't download Precision X because every time I try it says something about a disclaimer where they're trying to justify themselves against some attack based on RivaTuner infringements, which I couldn't care less about.

It says this now. But it's still behaving the same.

exoaria · Aug 8, 2014

Solved, for the most part: It was my power settings. Changed it to "High Performance" and the core clock hasn't lowered itself since.

Ps. you need to post the clock speeds and temps while in game, the idle figures are pretty useless.

Terrible FPS with an overkill system.
